Generate an image from 3d model (server side)
Yes, independed from the web technology stack you're using on the server side you can invoke Blender from the command line.

Something like:

blender -b file.blend -a -x 1 --render-output &lt;path&gt;


should do the job. See the link above for a complete description of all available parameters. Note that Blender itself doesn't provide a HTTP server therefore you would need to make the rendered image available to your server (probably by simply copying the file or direct rendering into the web server's image resources directory).
